life.
Do not hang turbo-blower or hood by its breathing tube and do not hang the
turbo-blower unit from the hood.
Battery storage and optimization
The EVA Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) battery is a durable
Lithium Polymer battery designed to deliver consistent power during its life.
Each battery provides up to 800 charge/discharge cycles. Normal use of
the battery, natural aging of the battery cells and exposure to high heat will
gradually decrease the battery’s available capacity.
Maximize battery life by following these maintenance and storage guidelines.
• Do not charge battery in an enclosed or unventilated cabinet.
• Discharging and re-charging the battery fully at least once every three (3)
months is suggested to maximize its lifecycle.
• Do not leave a battery on the charger for more than thirty (30) consecutive
days.
• Battery loses less than 0.5% charge per day and can be charged and
stored ready for use. For long-term storage, keep battery in a cool area
not below -5°C (23°F) with at least 40% charge.
• Remove the battery from the turbo-blower unit when not in use.
• Charge the battery before it is completely discharged.
• Always charge the battery at room temperature or cooler. At higher
temperatures, the battery may not accept full charge. If battery feels
warm, let it cool for 30 minutes before charging.
NOTE:
The turbo-blower unit is provided with a circuit to protect the battery.
It will not allow the battery to be discharged below a safe voltage for
the cells, regardless of airflow, without the Alarm sounding. When the
battery reaches the voltage cutoff it will automatically cease operation.
NOTE:
The battery has a built-in circuit protection. In the event of a short
circuit, the fuse will trip. The fuse will reset itself within 5 – 10 seconds
allowing the battery to resume normal operation.
